Okay, I just finished the series against the Rays with an insane 4th game.
First 3 games:
- W 1:0
- W 4:1
- W 6:4
In the 4th game I started Yusei Kikuchi and he had the worst day you could have. He ended up pitching only 1.2 innings, pitching 45 times in those, allowed 7 hits and 8 runs. Whatever I did pitching wise with him, they hit it. After 2 innings the score was 8-2 for the Rays.
Then both teams stayed scoreless for 2 innings until Vlad brought home a 3 run homerun in the 5th. Followed by 2 other scoreless innings by both teams, followed by another HR by Vlad, this time for 2 runs.
So we went into the 9th against their closer with 1 run down. Biggio hit a single leading it off, Springer struck out, Vlad singled again. Bo hit a sac fly that brought Biggio home and then the young Davis Schneider hit another HR to bring the leading run home.
The Rays finished the 9th then scoreless again, so we really won the game 9-8. In the past I usually ended up simming the game after an inning from hell like this one, but now I am really glad I stuck with it.
